Studenl'l at UM-SL Louis are at a serious disadvantage when it comes to pmonal safety on campus. In addition to the lack of adequate lighting and emergency phones, the increased number of non-traditional studenl'l taking night classes creates a "target-rich" environment for criminals. There are lighl'l in almost evezy part of SL Louis .campus. Much of the ,~ fliffostJ ic lighting, however, serves a moo: aesthetic than JDCtical purpose.

There ",,,vt., . are none near any building. Emergency phones on the UM-Colnmbia campus are red, and they are mounted on "booths" that are well lit and easily identified by students. Crime on the Columbia campus has spurred the campus community and administra­ tion to fund easily-recognized emergency phones. They are phones that are individually lit with fluorescent lighting that easily distinguishes the phone from any other free-standing obj€X:t on campus. With crime on the S1. Louis campus last semester that included an armed robbery and more than one sexual offense, there seems to be a need for similar phones here. Granted, there are red phones in all of the buildings on campus that studenl'l can use to call the campus police. How many students will be able to use the red phones to call the police on weekends and after hours? The campus operator is there between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. There is a 20 second message that states the hours and, almost as an afterthought, the , recording gives the number for the police at the end. How many students, if frightened enough to call the police, are going to wait 20 seconds, hoping that the number will be given? There are stickers on some red phones that tell the number, but anyone on campus has to admit that not all of the stickers are Cold War Is Over, But Gay Issue Is Just Heating Up legtble eX" devoid of graffiti.

KWMU Story Reported Fair; Reader Says

Dear Editor,

Thank you, Krista Goodin, for your article about the racial discrimination lawsuit of my friend, Winnie. It gave us a welcomed boost. Given the court's decision, we believe that you wrote the article in Winnie's favor. I am sure that she was in the right, and therefore, your description was warranted and fair. Since the party that was in the wrong owns the newspaper you write for, I believe you have shown yourself to be a courageous and good person. Sometimes people who do what is right are banned; Martin Luther King was an example. Other times people do something helpful and prosper for it, like Woodward and Bernstein did. I hope you will keep up your good work and always do well in life.

Artie Solomon

When people think of Harlem, N.Y., pictures of a poverty-striken community, and crime comes to mind. The shocker is, at ooe point in time, Harlem was a nice, comfort­ able middle-class black commu­ nity. According to Langston Hughes. "Harlem was in vogue" from 1919-1929. It was the inter­ national capital of black culture. The history of Harlem during this time was not lost, however, on people who have died, taking their memories with them. The memo­ ries were captured by a prominent African-American photographer named James VanDerZee (1886- . 1983). His photographs are on display in the gallery of the Public Policy Research Center,Room 362 of the Social Sciences Building. The display, named '"Tell of My People." is Dart of the celebration of Black History Month. The pbotograpbs were brought to the university because of the wolk: done by Jean Tucker, a re­ search associate at the center. She saw the photographs at the Howard Greenburg Gallery in New Ycrt and asked if they could be lent to the university for display. Van DerZee captured the com­ fortable lives ofHarlem' s residents during the '20s and '30&. He phoor graphed civic and church groups in Harlem, as well as doing portrai­ ture. According to Tucker, Van Der zee wasn't nationally known out­ side of his community of Harlem, until 1969.
